As a parent or grandparent, we request the same behaviors over and over again, but it does not always seem to stick. This camp is a fun way to reinforce those skills you are teaching at home. The campers will use lots of hands on play to learn and practice these skills that are a necessity in today’s world, but which are too often forgotten by kids and adults alike. Topics include shaking hands, eye contact, introducing yourself and others, making conversation, table manners, common courtesies, telephone skills, being a good host and guest and writing thank you notes.

Offered thru Howard County Rec & Parks.

Modern Manners Day Camp for ages 4-7 9-noon
Make learning manners fun! It is never too early to learn these ever important skills.

Campers are amazed how much fun learning these skills can be when you get to color, use puppets and dress ups, and lots of fun props to practice these real life skills. In addition to the above topics, campers will also learn conversation skills, table manners, magic words, telephone skills, being a good host and guest and how to make new friends.
